TImageEnFolderMView.EnableSpecialFolders

Declaration

property EnableSpecialFolders: Boolean;

Description

Whether the user can navigate up from a root to a drives folders, i.e. "My PC".

When false, the top level folder of TImageEnMView is a drive root (e.g. C:\).

When enabled, the folder tree is as follows:

+ Drives
  + C:\
    + Folder 1 on C
    + Folder 2 on C
  + D:\
    + Folder 1 on D
    + Folder 2 on D

Example of the drives folder (IEF_Drives_Folder):



Note:
◼When enabled, Folder may return the constants: IEF_Desktop_Folder or IEF_Drives_Folder
◼These are not true special folders. IEF_Desktop_Folder is the Windows desktop plus a "My PC" icon to access the drives folder. IEF_Drives_Folder simply lists available drives on a system.
◼To display connected devices, enable ShowDevices

Example

// Display the Windows desktop
IEFolderMView1.Folder := IEF_Desktop_Folder;

// Check the user is not creating a folder in the drives folder
if IEFolderMView1.Folder = IEF_Drives_Folder then
  ShowMessage( 'You cannot create a folder in "My PC"' );
